Donk Becomes Youngest MVP in CS Major History

Danil “⁠donk⁠” Kryshkovets was named the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024 MVP following Spirit’s 2-1 victory over FaZe in the grand finals. The 17-year-old phenom became the youngest Major champion and MVP in history at 17 years and 324 days old, breaking the record previously held by Markus “⁠Kjaerbye⁠” Kjærbye at the ELEAGUE Major 2017 (18 years and 277 days).

This is donk’s first Major MVP, adding to his collection of five other individual awards — four from 2024, his first full year of play and officially his rookie year — including one from IEM Katowice.

Donk achieved this feat with a stellar performance, where he also became the highest-rated Major MVP (Elimination Stage and Playoffs) with a 1.49 rating, beating out Oleksandr “⁠s1mple⁠” Kostyliev’s 1.47 rating at PGL Stockholm.

The young star only had one negative-rated map among Spirit’s 14 maps in Shanghai, a 7-13 loss to MOUZ on Nuke. His highlight, however, came in the grand finals decider against FaZe, where 30 kills in regulation time earned him a 1.98 rating.

Donk was a standout performer in all of his team’s wins, but especially in leading Spirit to victory with a 1.67 rating in the grand finals.

Looking at all 14 maps, he ended the tournament leading in rating (1.49), KDD (+97), DPR (101.4), KPR (0.99), total kills (289; tied with Robin “⁠ropz⁠” Kool), headshots (177), headshots per round (0.60), and impact rating (1.75).

He also had the highest damage difference per round (+25.9; 2nd), 1+ kill rounds (56.7%; 2nd), total assists (69; 5th), KAST (78.2%; 5th), and total opening kills (45; 3rd, tied with Guy “⁠NertZ⁠” Iluz).

To cap off his spectacular performance, donk broke the record for most aces at a Major, with four — beating Egor “⁠flamie⁠” Vasilyev’s three aces from IEM Katowice 2019 — which also matched s1mple’s record of four aces at the Big Event from IEM Cologne 2021.
